To Phil's "scope" list below, I'd like to add the following:
g. Constituent structure at the phrasal and clausal level (that is,
more detail on "sentence/clause types")
h. Role of grammar in creating coherent texts
i. Relation of grammar to meaning and style
j. Variation in language: social, regional, stylistic (registers)
1. What to teach (scope)
a. parts of speech
b. sentence roles
c. sentence / clause types
d. punctuation
e. spelling
f. tense, aspect, mood, and voice
I don't know about other states, but California already has a thorough
spelling program for all grades. The early grades instruct in phonemic
awareness and phonics, and later grades concentrate on variation in
root/affix spellings and frequently-misspelled words. This is handled
separately from the grammar component of the whole language arts
program.
